Yes, it does feel good! In the 4.4, it'd be closer to like 11 mpg at that speed, if I was lucky! It's a lot less painful at the pump.. But it's still not cheap! It has a pretty small tank, and it cost me about $37 to fill up yesterday... It's still better, though.. It was like $48 to fill the X5 back in January! And I still average 24 mpg or so. The 3er is running great! Other than the ignition coils (which failed less than a week after I got the car), I've had no major problems. I had to get a new windshield, and I broke one of the parts of the rear suspension, but other than that, nothing. I love it, but I still miss the X5.
